I think I have a mutation in a taste bud or something, but Sucralose is really a prominent and nasty taste to me in anything it’s in. Really frustrating to taste it in otherwise sugary drinks, like some of the Monster flavors.
For reference, I also think cilantro tastes like soap. No clue if that’s an indicator or not.

I don’t enjoy the idea of babies given circumcisions, I can’t abide genetic tailoring by a person internationally decried as an unethical practitioner doing things in secret just to stoke his ego to make him the first, bypassing the incredibly necessary ethical safeguards that the industry enforces against themselves.
I don’t want him to be able to do what he did in the way that he did it because the way that he did what he did allows for monstrosities to be committed in the name of advancing science at any cost with no thought to potential lifelong unknowable direct consequences in the people being treated.
I don’t have an anti-genetic editing slant, I don’t think the goal is bad.

Why is this disgraced and denounced genome-editing ethics-lacking guy being spammed so fucking much

Goddamn not everything has to become a hypercapitalist merch moment. Don’t fall for unofficial unaffiliated “promises” to donate “a portion”, just fucking donate directly and save yourself the trouble that the shirt or mug or whatever would give you after the second wash.

- Comment on I used to hate QR codes. But they're actually genius 6 months ago:
With apologies to the rest of the industry, boots on the ground equipment reseller-wise: Upgrading scanner scales costs us ~$1,800/lane/store for a 7895 before our markup (and I don’t know the actual figures, I’m not a money guy), and we barely convinced store owners that EMV was needed because of the liability shift. I’m skeptical that UPCA is going away entirely, and would expect GTINs to be more complimentary than anything.
We’re having a hell of a time convincing people to get off of POS applications that were sold ~10 years ago running Windows Server 2008 R2 and an app that is just recently past its support cutoff. They would need to completely replace their POS in order to upgrade.

- Comment on I used to hate QR codes. But they're actually genius 6 months ago:
I still haven’t heard of anything in this space, as a part of an NCR dealer with ~170 independently owned grocery stores as customers. A fair amount of them don’t have imaging scanners, and the scanners they do have can’t scan QR. Not saying it’s not happening, but I am strongly skeptical that the industry is switching away from UPC/EAN as a whole.

I haven’t heard of an actual direct initiative here, that 2027 date sounds more like marketing for IBN than an actual industry-wide push. Walmart is banking on RFID, for example.

Another commenter here: the double reply thing was likely an app bugging on sending a reply.
- Comment on Redirect to prevent back button 7 months ago:
Sorry, this comment was mainly just providing the previous user with a correction because they seemed to think that the other person that they were replying to was talking about forcing people to use phone apps, which I assume we all agree is bad and would likely work if there were a concentrated push for it.
Concerning your points after “using the browser”: I want websites to use replaceState and manage their own intra-page navigation with a cookie. They can still intercept the back button as they do now, but they should only get the single history entry until they switch to a new page, if they ever do.
- Comment on Redirect to prevent back button 7 months ago:
I don’t think I’m disputing your facts, I was responding to the scenario you presented which was, essentially, “what about email”. I would say it’s fair that my opinion on a canonical browser history is solid and unlikely to change, though.
- Comment on Redirect to prevent back button 7 months ago:
I think the word ‘app’ was being used in place of ‘webapp’ there, which is the general target audience for this feature.
- Comment on Redirect to prevent back button 7 months ago:
I don’t think that email and browser history are similar enough to make a meaningful comparison, honestly.
Maybe someone could say that, but I am not.
I see a specific instance of a specific bad feature being specifically abused. I don’t care to entertain whatabouts.
- Comment on Redirect to prevent back button 7 months ago:
I accept that it’s how things are, I just personally feel as though the only way this feature could ever work as it does now is with the implementation it has now, and that the convenience of single page webapps that use history manipulation is not worth the insane annoyance of helping my grandma get out of websites that tell her that she has been hacked by the FBI.
- Comment on Redirect to prevent back button 7 months ago:
I’m frustrated that removing bad functionality is being treated as a slippery slope with obviously bad and impossible jokes as the examples chosen.
I see a bad feature being abused, and I don’t see the removal of that bad feature as a dangerous path to getting rid of email. I don’t ascribe the same weight that you seem to towards precedent in this matter.
